Lent Days of Reflection

Throughout Lent, Catholics make an extra special effort to grow closer to God through praying, fasting and giving to others. Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 have all had the opportunity to have a day off timetable to step away from the busyness of school life and find time to reflect on the bigger picture.

Each form group took part in workshops looking at music, peace and reconciliation, communion and community, the Liturgy of the Word and personal intentions. The workshops all fed into a special Mass for the year group as a whole in our local parish church with Fr. Mark. Students particularly enjoyed making the prayer bead bracelets and being led in meditation, which can take a lot of patience!
